Gonzo pornography
Adriano is recognized as a major director in the genre of gonzo pornography.[8] His work at times takes to extremes, even by the standards of gonzo, two of the distinctive characteristics of the genre: very lengthy scenes (over one hour),[8]:341 and graphic focus on the purely physical aspects of sex (for example measuring dilation of bodily orifices).[8]:341[9]
Influence
Porn star and director Bonnie Rotten has credited Adriano with inspiring and encouraging her to direct.[10] Porn star Candice Dare has expressed her liking for working with Adriano, as a demanding director and colleague who pushes her to the limits of her abilities.[9]
